Which volume indicator is best

What is the difference between expected volume vs. expected volume v 8? Which is better and why? What is the difference between VOL accumulation distribution vs. VOL accumulation/distribution V2 ? Should I be using futures volume or tick volume?

Expected Volume 8 is the most recent upgrade and the one you would want to use.

VAD and VAd 2.0:

All you need to use is VAd 2.0. There are setting in VAd 2.0 that allow to choose from 5 different variations of VAD. Vad Mode A, is the original VAD indicator, so no need to use the old Volume Accumulation indicator separatley since it is included in 2.0.

Vad 2.0 also has 4 other modes, which are based on various trending and chop indications. You can have multiple VAd indicators on your charts. For example on Darrell Martins IZSS template he uses VAD Mode A, and VAd Mode E both on the same chart.
